The
System of
Cowhide and Gallows**
Electioneering.
It appears from the signs that by common
consent the Radicals have determined to re
sort to the cowhide and the gallows as a
means for forcing their politics down the
throats, of the ignorant blacks. The scenes
witnessed here on Monday hnd tlieir dupli
cate at Columbus on the Saturday previous.
We copy from the Enquirer of that city:
At least two of the white Radical speakers,
at their meeting on Saturday last, tried very-
hard to firightep Conservative colored men.
by telling the crowd of ignorant nnd excited
negroes whom they were uddressing that any
“nigger” who would vote against Bullock or
the Constitution “ought to be put to death"
—“ought not \o be allowed to live in this
country one hour”—ought to be “whipped
with a cowhide or handsaw,” etc., etc.
The proposer of the very humane nnd mild
■f' Thrpolitical monstrosity to the eon- method of dealing with refractory negroes,
_.i o.inti.mnt of the neonlo of by whipping them with the cowhide and
handsaw
is Dr. J. G. M u-u l 1, the whitt
Radical nominee for Representative. It has
generally beeu admitted for two or thrre
years past that this mode of" dealing witf#
negroes bad “played out” (it indeed the
“handsaw” system was ever practiced by any
one, except perhaps its present proposer and
one or two other managers of the Radical
meeting.) But it seems that tho “notorious
Dr. Maull” is still unwilling to give it up.—
True, he would restrict it to the backs ol
those negroes who will not vote as lie wants
them to vote. But what greater right lia-
he to dictate to a negro how he shall vote,
and apply to his body the cowhide or the
handsaw if lie does not voto as ho orders,
than any other man I If a Radical c tti cow
hide a negro for voting against his wishes ot
ordors, has not a Conservative the right to
the same thing ? And if either or both may
do it, what docs the “froodom” of the negus-
amount to i
These declarations or threats of Col. Ed
wards nnd Dr. Maull ought to open the eyes
of the negroes to the extent ot Radical regi-rd
for them or their rights. The Radicals only
want to use them—want the negroes to elect
them to office and give power. If the ne
groes will do this, all well; but if nor, then
they would visit upon them all the punish
ments incident to the old slavery system,
without any of its benefits. We wish the
Radical freedmen joy of sucli candidates!
As to the Conservative colored men, let them
show by their course on the day of the elec
tion whether they still tremble at the men
tion of the cowhide and at the handsaw, or
whether they are worthy of the liberty that
has been conferred upon them.
THE RELIEF INIQ.UITY EXPOSED.
Letter from Hon. B. II. HtU.
Athens, Ga., March 26, 1868.
My Dear Sir :—Pardon me for so long de
laying to comply with your request I will
endeavor to give you, in a brief space, the ar
guments against the “Relief features" of the
proposed negro Constitution
I. In the first place, a!! the provisions of
this negro Constitution on this subject are
contrary to the Constitution of the United
States, and, therefore, cannot afford the relief
promised. Now, lawyers and judges have
sometimes differed ns to tlie validity of what
are called Stay laws; but the relief proposed
by this negro Constitution is to destroy pri
vate contracts, either by refusing the courts
jurisdiction over them, or by taxing them out
of existence, or by exempting property al
ready liable from continuing liable for tlieir
payment. Now, I ntlirm that no court, no
judge and no respectable lawyer has been
found who will pretend that a State or terri
tory can destroy private contracts in cither of
hese ways, or in any other way. The mo
urn! the question is examined, that moment
it ceases to be debateable. The Constitution
says no State shall pass a “law impairing thd
blig.ition of contracts." Now, tchy was
bis clause inserted in the Constitution ? Mr.
M obson s >ys it was inserted because “our ex
perience" taught us it was “necessary." What
experience? This: after the revolutionary
war I lie people w-re in debt and bard pressed. jreally merit protection. They are: 1. The
rin-refnr<vsays Mr. Madison, “In the internal | wealthy men in debt who dears to hold
idnr'iMrstion ut the States a violation of 1 their property and evade tlieir debts also. 2.
tors every day getting poorer. People every
day getting more embittered and impover
ished. Judges every day committing peiju
jy. Hope every- day dying; and lawyers,
robbers, and New England outlaws everyday
growing fat on the universal ruin of all hon
est people 1
3d. While all this is being done we shall
have negroes and Yankees in the Legislature
establishing free schools for negroes, to be
supported by taxation upon the whites, and
taught by New England teachers to increase
the hatred between the races: and, while our
industry will be paralized nnd our product
almost destroyed, our taxes will be fully
doubled. Property will also be depreciated
still more and more, and our people will lose
more in increased taxation and by the loss of
property-values than would be safficicnt to
pay their debts three times over.
4th. In the meantime the Bankrupt Act
will have expired, and thousands will have
failed to avail themselves of it
5th. Every man who votes for this negro
Constitution to avoid paying his debts, wil(
never be aide to get credit again. Many live
by credit; but, having shown themselves
willing to defraud, no sane man will ever
after trust them. Tho rich man can live
without credit, or get it on his property.—
The poor mm is dependent on his character,
and when that idgone he is rained.
Glli. Those who are agitating this ques
tion of relief are not the oppressed men, or
the poor meD, or the men ol industry, or
men ol any class who deserve relief and

Office.of Grand Cyclops, March —, ’68. j
It is with regret that the attention of the
Grand Cyclops 1ms been called to the frequent
notices, placards, pretended orders, and
threats of a vicious and vindictive character,
that have appeared from time to time upon
the streets of your cities and in the columns
of your papers, purporting to emanate from
chiefs or members of the Brotherhood, at
different points throughout the State.
Breathing, as they do, a spirit of sedition,
discord, ami vindictive hatred, they are well
ca'culated to excite alarm and breed appre
hension in the mind of the public.
Cloaked beneath the mantle of an orgnni
zation really powerful, but peacetul nnd
charitable in its objects, afew adject but evil-
minded men lu re and there, at the instance
of an unprincipled political party, of which
they constitute the ready tool:,, gladly lend
the aid ot their vicious faculties in perverting
the usages of the Kim (of which they really
know nothing) into a weapon for the perpe
tration of designs as pirnicinus as they are
reprehensible—as artful us they are well cal
culated to deceive.
Spies, traitors and informers, adventurers
and other unprincipled wretches, villainous
canker worms in the vitals of society, fosttr-
ed, upheld, paid and supported by a political
faction, the real enemies to peace, good order,
and good Government; they willingly ply
their infamous vocations for the black bread
nnd blacker reward of deceit nnd treachery
Ranged beneath a banner whose symbol
speaks of peace— the “defenders of the poor
anti fatherless” came not among you robed
in lit* panoply ol war, and breathing heated
vengeance and bloodshed.
The wolf and the lamb herd not together
in forest or field, neither docs the Goddess ot
Vengeance stride side by side with the Angel
ot Peace. The Klun comes among you, not
with "the object ot fomenting discord ami
strife, but to maintain order and uphold
peace in the land. Peace without power
cannot last, for then is it easily broken. The
Kiao has power, nnd to the extent of that
p.iwer will peace and harmony be main
tained.
Pence, not war, is its vocation; but if need
ful, the Kbin his the power and will make
war lor the mnintenunce of peace. Let it
not lie infringed upon.*
Qu etly but proudly reposing in the con
sciousness ot its strength, the Klnn disclaims
with unmeasured scorn and contempt_ the
authorship of the many bombastic effusions,
direful tbrea's and finning placards, with
which tho papers and street doors have
teemed for sometime past. “Sounding brass
and tinkling Cymbals” they cannot hut re
gard as the offshoot of n cunning that often
over-rides itselt. As such the Klan regards
them, while the public can but look upon
them as the effort of an embryo organization
engaged in a lotile attempt to bolster up its
courage and prop its tottering weakness by
means of loud threats und noisy boastings. _
The Grand Cyclop, in behalf of, and in
justieo to his Klan, makes the above an
nouncement, that the public may know upon
whom to throw the responsibility, should
consequences of a grave and serions nature
result jro/n the pernicious conduct of a few
vicious minded men hounded on by a politi
cal party for party purposes.
The latter would do well to give heed to
the warning conveyed in the foregoing. Eyes

The Democratic party does not breathe
through the nostrils of .my one man, or set of
men. There is no other political party that
exists so well, without lenders, as this. The
late war, lor example, swept their so-called
lenders nearly away. It changed the current
of its organs, even, and we all said the Dcm-
eratic party was dead. We awakened to the
fact, before the wnr was ended, that it lived,
and could, as of old, make itself felt, un
pleasantly, «t the polls. At the great day
when the Almighty calls the people to judg
ment, the Democratic party will come up
shouting for a “white man’s government,”
and avowing its solemn determination to
“vote the ticket, the whole ticket, and noth
ing but the ticket.”

Corrupt- promises lor no purposes but to push

It was upon this Very subject of Relief that
Shay’s rebellion in Massachusetts was stirred
up. And it is significant that tire dema
gogues in the Convention, nnd their dirty ad
vocates now on the stump in Georgia, are
using the very ideas and borrowing tie very
speeches of the wicked men who stirred up
Shay’s rebellion 1 But these creatures in
Georgia are much worse than were the men
in Massachusetts, because there was no Con
stitntioD to be violated in that day, and tbr
clause we are considering was put in the
Constitution to prevent the recurrence ol
tucli filthy demagogues. The creatures have
reappeared itf Georgia to indoctrinate New
England ideas into our people. What a
shame that they should have found already
here men far meaner than them'elves 1
Rciders who desire to fully understand this

Story on the Constitution, and the Decisions

ferred to by Judge Story. There is also a
short but forcible passage in the Federalist,
No. 44. See also 5, Marshall’s “Life of
Washington, and 3, Hildreth,” U. S.
II. But in truth it is well known that
the men who were chiefly instrumental in
putting these relief provisions in this negro
Constitution, did not intend they should have
i (Ti-ct. They were deliberately devised as a
cheat. This is now well established. I have
heard men engaged in this cheat admit it.
I have the highest authority for saying that
assurances were sent from the Radical leaders
in Washington that relief might be put in
the Constitution to get votes, but would be
stricken out after the totes were (drained.
cannot allude to these facts without feeling
indignant. I cannot see thoughtless people
going to hear men speak who are notoriously
engnged in the disgraceful work of helping
to carry out thischeat upon the people, with
out feeling a sliamc for humanity and the-
developments of free institutions. How can
r-cesi men permit such filthy deceivers to
enter their houses, associate with their fami
lies or tulk with ihi rc lildren l Such mm
must bo driven from society and influence,
or society will he despoiled of all decency,
and free government deprived of all hope of"
continuance.
Think of it, reader! Our people to. be
cheated into submitting to negro domina
tion by a false provision of relief, and the
negroes to be used to make success certain 1
And Georgians! men who boast of having
been “highly honored” by our people, lead
ing and prompting in all the lies by which
the cheat is to be accomplished!
But the half is not yet told. This_ false
promise of relief in the negro Constitution is
not only itself a cheat, but it is to defeat all
legitimate relief, and prevent our people from
doing what they otherwise would do to im
prove their condition. Let us enumerate
some of the evils that must result from this
agitation:
1st. A large majority of creditors are now
willing to act liberally with their debtors,
and take a reasonable portion of their debt.
But debtors, by this relief agitation, are en
couraged to pay nothing. Creditors will be
compelled to hold on to their dcbts^until
the laws can bft enforced, and all the time
interest is accumulating. The time will come
when courts will be open and law will be ad
ministered. These creditors, outraged by the
efforts of the debtors to get rid of all the
debt, will exact the last dollar and listen to
no compromise.
2d. Very unfortunate ‘bitterness of feeling
will spring up among our people. _ Efforts
which ought to be given to production and
improvement of property, will be given to
conceal, bide and cover up property. There
are unscrupulous lawyers now engaged in
encouraging this business. I know of lawyers
who arc now promised lart£ amounts to de
feat the collection of debts. I know some
foolish debtors who arc pitying lawyers
amounts to defeat debts, which the creditors
would accept and give up the debts.
Why tou will say such men arc crazy 1 bo
in one sense, they are. They are crazy with
a passion against creditors. They prefer to
pay the money to lawyers who Jlitter them
to creditors who trusted them. Bo, many
men are run crazv. Every man who votes to
accept negro dominion to get false relief is
crazy! Every man who so votes is selling
his children’s hopes nnd his wife’s happiness
for a cheat—worse than a cheat,
Why, some of the Banks offered forty thous
and dollars to the negro Convention if they
would frame the relief so as to include their
stockholders and put it in such form as their
attorney would say the pcoplcwould ratify it!
I speakadciscdly. Men are urging the peo
ple to ratify this Constitution who arc to get
fees from interested parties if thU Constitu
tion is ratified, and Judges can be put on the
Bench who will agree (some have agreed) to
take contracts to conlmit perjury by ltold-
thc relief constitutional. What a state
of thiix'S we shall have 1 Debtors and eredi-
They ureuiipriocipled,aiiibitious demagogues,
who are seeking to take advantage of the
people's misfortunes, to inflame their passions
and create false hopes, to ebable them and
tho thieves who always follow them to ob
tain the offices oft he country anu get posses
sion of the resources of the people. 3. They
are the men who have defrauded orphans
and widows and wards, and have made for
tunes using trust property, and now wish to
live in luxury and turn off these orphans and
widows with nothing. A special provision
is put in this Constitution fur this very class.
A just God ought to burn up a people with
fire who would ratify a Constitution with such
a provision in it. i repeat, by this Constitu
tion a trust* e wiio has preserved and taken
care of It's ward’s property must account for
it; but tlie trustee wiio has used the orphan’s
property and midea fortune on it for him
self, however rich now, is relieved ol
alt accountability! It is a crime to vote
for such a Constitution, or to approve it,
which ought in send every man guilty to the
penitentiary for life. Isa tuan who would
approve such a Constitution fit to bo trusted
agaiti with an orphau’s property, or left as
executor or adviser for a widow ?
7th. The Homestead feature i- so arranged that
a rich man in a city may tic worth a hundred ihous-
aud dollars, and not one dn tarot it bn liable l -r hi*
debts; white a poor mao Kiay have only property
worth two or turce thousand dollars and be can
not use one dollar of it to e a 1 him to get credit
to buy a pound oi meat or a bush- i ot meal tor his
family 1 A man may have a vacant lot set apart
under this Homestead law, aud tl.t-n he may spend
all bb other property improving it, and build a
factory, a touudiy, a h-ilei, or anything else he
may choose, and not ouc dollar ot it can ever be
taken tor his deb s, and the Legislature cannot

KAYTON’S DYSPEPTIC PILLS-Gnrea Sick
Headache and all Bilious Disorders.
Here Is the barg.-iu iu few words z.
If we establish the Constitution we get negr-
voters; negro jurors; uegro eirisiators; negro jutlg
es; uegro magistrates; negro mayors and muuiti
pal officer*-; ncgio sheriffs, cierks, ordinaries,
constables, negro militia and militia officers, and
negroes in every other position which renegade and
New England willies will not appropriate to them
selves. Also we shall have New England Govern
>rs; New England Congressmen; New England
Judgis; New England superintendents ot our
great Railroads, ot the Asylums tor onrluoatic.
deal and dumb,and blind; New hngiaml tax col
lectors; New Englaud treasurers; New England
teachers, and New England adventurers in every
other position not occupied by a negro, or not
given lo some miserable Southern renegade who
has agreed, io' consideration of getting the office,
to be dirtier than a corn-field negro, ami
meaner than a New England Kadic .1, urn! to go
fur'her and lie more unblushiug-y than both,"in
tho work ot degrading and robbing his own peup e
As the direct effects oi ihls rule, w< shall have our
property depreciated; nearly hall of our tstute ren
dered uutit loc ihe residence of white people; our
orphans ronbed; our widows Impoverished; our
society demoralized; our credit at home and
abroad destroyed; our taxis doubled; our laws in
capable of protecting person or property. Straug-
ers will he our lulcrs; thieves our legislator-,
and perjured aud bribed criminals our judges.
Wu shall have no peace save in the presence ot a
perpetual military j ower, and no hope ol r co'very
from our tall, n condi.i-m rxctpl through a des
potism accompanied wi h the extermination, ban
ishment, or rc-eusiavement of the African race.
Aud what Is the consideration we get tor all this
degradation and ruiL ? This—only this: a promise
from rogues that wc shall nut be b; require* to pay
our >bbt.; aud which promise we kuow beforehand
thc--e rogues are neither able cor willing to keep,
which they do not intend to k«tp, aud which they
merely make to entrap us! « corgis ns, read this
picture! Turn b -ck aud lead il ujpiin 1 Think ot
your wives and cbildrva; our buried dead; our
gloriou. past, and our once bright future, aud
re-id again ! Then you will be able to understand
this wild, mad, brigand promise of “iteliel 1” re-
ilei from honest deots by potting your wives, your
children, your property, and your all into the pro
tection ot rogues aud uuder the dominion ol the
negro!
All nations, especially all republics, have their
days of trial, trouble and revolution. Always at
such times “arllul, restless, discontented indlvid-
uits, deceivers rather linn deceived, step forth for
plunder, or or the sake of a little notoriety, to
inti tine public disconteut, and to flatter popular
detu-ious.” They follow and worry an oppressed
people as certain flies do the victims of wouuds
and putrid sores. They divided the Jews and de
spoiled the Temple ot Solomon, forming factious
comb,nations to rob and rale, while the public
enemy was in the very act of battering down the
walls ot Jerusalem, and women and children and
old men were perishing in caves aud hiding places.
They underminetl anu destroyed the common
wealth ef Romo when the combined world inarms
had vainly attempted tho task. They brought
power, and pride, and beauty, and wealth, aad
men, aud women, and maidens aud children to the
guitutinc iu France, und washed the streets of
Paris with the blood of the gifted aud the
good. But after carefully considering the
men who lead, and the measnres they
adopt, the ends they propose and tho means
they employ, I fearlessly, and with earnest
warnings, affirm, that tho men at Washington
who are engaged in tho dail^work of trampling
upon tho* American Constiti^n and destroying
American liberty; -and still more, that tho men
at tho South who aro eiding in that work by
countenancing thb oppressions heaped upon
their own people; and mo3t of all, that tho men
in Georgia who aro additionally engaged in de
vising schemes and making false promises of
relier in order to entrap and deceive our people
into tho acceptance of a Constitution which they
hate, aro exhibiting features or depravity far
beyond any which revolutionary malcontents
have over beforo exhibited, and aro leading the
people—black and white—to scenes of blood and
horror which havo never beforo been experienced
in any ago or country.
In tho first place, revolutionary leaders in
other times and countries havo beeu supported
by tho people of their own race, color or blood,
and who had grievances more or less real to re
dress. But the revolutionary leaders ol this coun
try arc u-ing the ignorant, seml-barbarous and
long enslaved negro to destroy the liberty anu
government of the white race. >\ ithout these
negroes wbat'support would the Radicals in Geor
gia have? They have literally uo decent native
white supporters. The repott that over thirty
thousand whites voted for Convention Is the dirty
Uo ofa New England Radical. It is well known that
those whi es who voted tor delegates in Eome
counties, hut who refused to vote tor or against
Convention because they wished to he counted
on that question with those who did not vote,
were falsely counted for Convention ! There arc
not, t his day, one h umbtd white Georgians in favor
of negro sullrage or the reconstruction measures
oi thtT Radical Congress.
In the next place these revolutionary leaders, of
this country, do not permit even the negroes to
act upon their natural instinct?, or to vote ac
cording to their voluntary prtieienccs.

Gov. Brows’* “Certiorari” Dodge,
After the conclusion of his speech at
Watkinsville 'on Saturday last, Mr. HtU
called the attention ot the audience and
made the following remarks:
A friend has placed in ray hands a copy of the
‘New Era” of yesterday, the 20th. In this paptr
Is published a portion ot a speech made by Jo-eph
E Brown, at Marietta. This man charges that 1
deceived tho people in my spce.h at Atlanta be
came 1 stated that by tois proposed Constitution
(under which so many negroes would be justice’s
ot the peace) there was no appeal Irom tbe de
cision of the justice wcerethe sum involved was
under fifty dollars. I used in my speech the very
language of the Constitution, and this creature ad
mits that I was technically correct, eut insists that
I intended to make a misimpretsion. Why? Be
cause he says I did uot say a certiorari wou d lie in
snch cases. Then he (Brown) adds, “ihe remedy
is just as complete in the one case as in the other.
The only difference Is iu the manner of the apptal
or tho mode of carrying the case up.” Now,
gentlemen, when he used this language, I sa* he
was either grossly ignorant of the difference be
tween an appeal aud a certiorari, or he m do a
direct and willlul false statement to the people.—
Why give an appeal in the larger cases ii it was not
a different remedy and better than certiorari f—
Wbat Is the difference ?
By an appeal yon carry tbo caso out of tbo
ustico Court forever, and it is to bo tried anew
on its merits in tho Appellate Court.
By certiorari you simply carry up the trial the
fore tho Justice to the Judge of the Suprried
Court, and if tho decision of tho Justice ts be
versed, it is sent back to tho Justice to bo temo
bh hint again ! Moreover,in deciding whether res
Justice decided wrong or.not, tbo Buperior Court
Judge must take tho answer of tho Justice him
self as to what occurred before him unless a
traverso is filed and sustained. And tho Judge
of tho Superior Court cannot on a certiorari de
cide tho caso on its merits, unless, only a ques
tion of law and not a question of tacts is in
volved, but must send tho case back to bo tried
again, and perhaps a dozen times, by the same
negro justice of the peace! So what I siated is
true, and what Brown stated is not only untrue
but most disgracefully so. And I now again
charge that under this Constitution tho poor
white people in nearly half tho Stato can be put
completely under the civil power of negro jus
tices of tho peace and negro county officers of
every kind, and this creature Brown, who it is
said, pledged himself to voto against tho Consti
tution if negroes were allowed to hold office, is
not only now supporting tho Constitution, but is
actually covering up his wicked character, and
endeavoring to deceive the people into its sup
port.
An Unconstitutional Murder.—Won
der of wonders!—It has been discovered in
Mexico that the law under which Maximilian
was executed was unconstitutional, nnd “the
press as well as the judiciary” denounce if.
If the law was unconstitutional then it was
not law, aud the act was murder. Who is to
he tried for it? That is a practical shape
for inquiry to take. Since it seems, then, that
even in Mexico people may discover their

Ju.-ticu Nelson—“Mr. B ; ack, there are no rules*
regulating the original jui i-diction ot this Gourtf
and tbe practice lias been to apply to tbo Court ui
every step of the pro. ceding?-
Mr. Black—“Very well, tU.n,'I
cess.”
The Chief Justice, alter consultation with the
Justices, said: “We will order process tb bo is*
6ued returnable the first day of the December
term.”
Mr. Black—Now, if the Court please, we move ‘
a hearing ol our application for an injunction.”
The Chief Justice—“Has notice been given the*
defendant?”
Mr. Biack—“Yea, sh; so I understand.”
But alter consulting with Gov. Jenkins, heeaid'ti
“Ii the Court please, 1 am not certain that proper,
n *r co has seen given.”
The Chief Justice—“You must apply jo ttu*
Court for an order lor uotice to tho other side o!>
lb** time when tho application for injunction,
will bo beard.” • *
Afr. Black—“We ask for on ordcrfixingtlie'
time for this hearing, and we suppose that, at
the utmost, not more than one week will bocon-
sidered necessary."
Tbe Chief Justieo—“Tbc Court will take tho
matter into consideration.”
Air. Black—“When mav we expect f*n- an
swer?’
The Chief Justice (sharply)—“When the Court
announces it.”
Mr. Black (patronizingly)—“The Court mean#
when it gets ready ?”
The Chief Justice—“Yes, sir.” ’
Tho result of this unexpected bitch iu the
proceedings will be, it is t-el-eved, to delay tha
entire case to tbo December term ot tbe Court
tvhi!o it is extremely doubtful if even a hearing
is granted at this term.
Chase as the Democratic Candidate*
The Northern Democrats are still specnW
ring about the possibility of Mr. Chase’s re
ceiving the Democratic nomination for Pru
rient. We copy Irom the Washington Uuibn
of the 10th instant: '
The New York Sun lies its attention drawn U>
the tact that the Dame ot the Chict Justice of the
Supreme Court nf tlie United States is meutionoB
in connection with the Dimi-eratic nomination for
the Presidency, and proceeds to show that, v/ith
the single exception of the s’a very question, now
a dead issue, he has always been a Democrat, act
ing wilb the party and advoea'ing its principles.
The suggestion is not wjthont force.
The Democratic party is devoted toprinciplBft—
uot to auy particular man. If Mr. Chase cor
rectly represents the principles—il he can com
mand the coefidencc of the party—if, iu a word,
by bis record and his patriotic conduct, especially
in thegr- at impeachment trial, wherein so ufujn
is d- pending upon his integrity and judgment, he
should ptove himself worthy to lead the great
Democratic and Conservative hosts, under the
Democratic banner, why may he not Ik- the candi
date ? •
Stranger things have happened before, and
these times patriotism invokes a Saviour.
The Democratic party is tbe party of progress,
yet always adhering to tbe time-honored past,
with its principles as drawn from the Constitu
tion itself.
No man living in America is so happily situ
ated as-Salmon P. Chase, under existing circum
stances, to achieve for himself historical renowa
by substantiating tbe peace of the eountiy
and securing the happiness of tho people. No
.other man in America has the power aod iofin-
nee to prevent the threatening calamities im
pending over the country, thereby winuing for
himself true renown as a statesman and tho grat
itude of the entire pcoplo.
